The Prime Minister’s deputy spokesman insisted Mr Johnson hadn’t meant to imply that parents who couldn’t afford private tuition didn’t work hard enough. Do you think not being able to afford private tuition means you don't 'work hard' enough? He said: “The PM's comments show how out of touch he is with parents and teachers across the country. “If the PM was serious about improving children's education he'd stump up the cash to invest in children's futures. "The Prime Minister's been all over the place when it comes to education and he's on the wrong side of it again."
